Song of Songs

Song of Songs is one of my favorite books of the Bible.

Its goes without saying that I love literature. But I especially love literature that isn't afraid to go against the grain. I respect authors who exploit topics of taboo nature and write with tremendous raw candor and emotion. I admire works of literature that dare to be a little dark, a little risque, and a little uncomfortable to the reader. And this is why I love Song of Songs. It was said that this book, one of a Biblical nature mind you, once made priests squirm and blush due to its explicit depiction of love and sex within marriage.

If you've never read this poetic, beautiful, and quite steamy book, I recommend giving it a read. It will inspire you.
